Ilchi Lee Meditation Techniques

A team of scientists at the University of North Carolina have conducted a study which suggests that even a relatively short period of meditation has the power to strengthen a person's brain. 

Researcher split a group of about 60 study participants into two sections: one that practiced 20-minute daily meditation for four days and another that listened to a reading of The Hobbit for the same time period.

The participants were given tests on mood and cognition both before and after the trial. At the beginning, all had similar scores on both exams.

While both groups experienced improved moods, the meditation group scored significantly higher than the listening group when tested on cognitive ability. In fact, the meditation group beat out the control group ten-fold when it came to a challenging test that required focus.

"It goes to show that the mind is, in fact, easily changeable and highly influenced, especially by meditation," said Fadel Zeidan, study co-author.

Authors said that exercising and controlling one's brain is a simple process with powerful results.

Results of the study support Ilchi Lee's methods of Brain Education, a meditation technique that is meant to enlighten practitioners and lead personal and spiritual growth.

The essential difference between the psychiatric approach to a spiritual problem and the shamanic approach to a problem is that the former tries to solve the problem through rational understanding, while the latter accepts the ineffable nature of human existence. Modern psychology has developed many useful ways of dissecting and dinning a problem. Shamanic traditions, on the other hand, accept that a vast, incomprehensible universe exists within each person, and that total understanding is an impossible goal. That is why, as Keeney describes it, primitive cultures move the person into the mystery of life, rather than avoid it through rational understanding of things.

I am told that the word heal in English is derived from a word meaning “to make whole.” I believe that Brain Wave Vibration offers this sort of wholeness to practitioners. It is fine to seek a rational understanding of the problems that trouble you, but ultimately you will need to go beyond the rational to really get in touch with the vastness of your being. Within that vastness, you will find the eternal wisdom and healing that has always been yours from the beginning of time.

As it turns out, the membrane that surrounds the cell may be more important than genes in determining your state of health. The cell membrane senses and responds to the surrounding environment. In other words, it is the brain of the cell, receiving and interpreting messages from the body. But who talks to your cells on behalf of your body, telling them how to act? It is the same element that talks to your organs—telling your heart to beat and your lungs to breathe. It is your brain.

Energy is the language spoken by your body. You probably already know that your brain sends bioelectric signals to your organs and muscles through the nerve pathways in your body. But did you ever consider how your brain talks to your cells?

Not long ago, biologists believed that the cell membrane was relatively inconsequential, that it simply functioned as a containment system to absorb chemical substances as needed. More recently, however, biologists have looked more carefully at how the cell membrane responds to its surrounding environment. Bruce Lipton, a biologist studying how the cell membrane works, claims that the cell interprets its environment not solely based on chemical information but also based on energetic information.
